| Jan. 7, 2019 MurrayW Men's 65 221 posts | 65 Major Plus Players from Texas Looking for a Team Three 65 Major Plus players looking to play on a 65 Major Plus team West of the Mississippi or a 65 Major team bordering Texas. All three of us have good power and are .700 to .800 hitters. We have played 50, 55 and 60 Major Plus with Hendricks Sports winning many world championships in SSUSA and SPA in each age division. Not enough of our former teammates are still playing or have reached 65 to form a team from Texas. Let us know if your team is interested. Joe Read: SS, 2B Thomas Brown (aka TB): RF, Catcher Murray Williams: 3B, 1B, 2B thanks, Murray 512-468-7624 |

| Jan. 9, 2019 MurrayW Men's 65 221 posts | Thanks for the kind words, Mike and Mad dog. |
| Jan. 10, 2019 Steeltree 1 posts | Three VERY good players. They would enhance any lineup and would not mess up any teams chemistry. |
| Jan. 10, 2019 CV3 108 posts | For those with interest these three Big Dawgs have GAME end of story! Would be a great addition to any roster with the desire of winning their Character speaks for itself Team Players with game :) Good Luck to the team that recruits them.. |
| Jan. 10, 2019 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | WOW! A shortstop who hits .750 with power and Major Plus experience!! These guys won't be on the market long. Too bad my team is not Major Plus...and not that young! LOL |
| Jan. 11, 2019 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | yeah omar they are that good.....have played against joe and murray....they are legit..... |
| Jan. 14, 2019 MurrayW Men's 65 221 posts | Omar, I can't tell if you were being sarcastic or not. I am not exaggerating about Joe Read who plays SS. Thanks again mad dog. Hope you find a team too. |
| Jan. 14, 2019 DaveDowell Men's 70 4312 posts | MurrayW ... Omar can be a bit sarcastic on rare occasions (I know this from personal targeted experience!), but I'm betting not so this time ... You're both members of the "Good Guys" and best of luck in locating a mutually beneficial playing home this Season! .. |
| Jan. 14, 2019 Mango Men's 50 159 posts | Wow. I'm surprised this post is still up. Someone should have grabbed these 3 as soon as this was posted. Joe Read and company are good old boys that can play the game. They will make any team an immediate top tier team and you'd be hard pressed to find better guys. Some team is going to be very happy when they get these guys. Mango |
| Jan. 15, 2019 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | MurrayW, no, I was not being sarcastic. A good shortstop is a benefit at any age, a bonus once you round 60, and a treasure and a game changer after 70! My teams have tried for years (sometimes successfully) to find a good shortstop, but the agility, quickness, and arm strength that is required starts to fade away in the late 60s. I trust mad dog's opinion as well as others on this site and I am dumbfounded that they haven't found a team except for the well-known challenge that they want to play as a trio on a team, and many teams are reluctant to replace two already present good players for the sake of filling one hole in the lineup. If they are on a team that is at the World's or Rock n Reno this year, I'll look for them just for the joy of appreciating their play. P.S. Dave, when was I ever sarcastic with you? Send me a private email to remind me. Complaining a couple of times (the shirt fiasco at Western's; the misranking at Woodland) but I am seldom sarcastic with anyone on this forum (with the "retirement" of Einstein) so I am genuinely puzzled. |
| Jan. 16, 2019 Don5 Men's 75 69 posts | Murray, good luck, I believe that Enviro-Vac and Timberworks are the only M+ that could pick you up. The Animals will take all three, (If Dave wasn't looking and a some name changes, maybe not Joe, he loses his glove too much!! Thomas beat us with an off field HR in Reno last year, so we could use you guys, secretly of course. Don Angle Animals |
| Jan. 22, 2019 MurrayW Men's 65 221 posts | Omar, thanks for clearing that up. Sorry I misinterpreted your comments. Yes, I realize that it is difficult to find a team that can take all three of us, but we really want to stay together. None of us are desperate. I'm playing on a 55 and a 60 team already, Joe hits 5 or 6 times a week and enjoys that as much as playing tournaments and TB is keeping busy in North TX. Don5, we can all wear our Groucho Marx noses, mustache and glasses as disguises. Do you think we can sneak past Dave like that? |
| Jan. 23, 2019 Don5 Men's 75 69 posts | Murray, don't worry! Dave Never looks at the board. |
| Jan. 28, 2019 MurrayW Men's 65 221 posts | Thanks, everyone who recommended us or had kind words to say about us. I am happy to say that we will be joining EnviroVac for the 2019 season. Looking forward to being a rookie again in the 65 division while continuing to be the old guy on my 60 and 55 teams! |
